Verse:
C C7 C C7 F
When I woke, I was not awake
F G (riff)
Light from the sun felt so far away
C C7 C C7 F
I went up, with all of my strength
F G (riff)
Straight for the sun, from the depths I sprang
Chorus:
F G
And I drank from the sea
C C7 C C7 F
But it opened up and swallowed me
F G
So I sank down deep
C C7 C C7 F
Now I'm drunken like a seasick dream
F#dim7
In this dream,
G7
I am awake
C C7 C C7 F F G(riff)
C C7 C C7 F F G(riff)
I am awake
Verse:
C C7 C C7 F
Well when did all of the waves
F G (riff)
Roll right in and make me their slave
C C7 C C7 F
So I went so far away
F G (riff)
I didn't look back, I'll come back someday
Chorus:
F G
Mamma wept, and she weeped
C C7 C C7 F
She said horizon don't you take him from me
F G
Black sails on the sea
C C7 C C7 F
Just carry me until I can be
F#dim7 G7
Awake, in this dream
C C7 C C7 F F G (riff)
I'm a-wa-a-a-a----ake
